Lost Planet 2 Walkthrough & Strategy Guide

Your objective here is to activate all the local data posts. There are five in total. From the mission's start point you'll come to a ledge. Jump in and you'll fall for a ways to the area below. Continue forward; there will be a wrecked VS on your left. You can take its weaponry if you want. Press forward. You'll come to a circular area and a thermal charger.

In the center you'll find a descending pit with a lot of platforms. This area is ringed by an ascending pathway. First, head down into the pit area. You should find a data post. Activate it and then head back up and use your now active map to find the remaining data posts. They are all on different levels and can seem a bit difficult to find at first. That said, they're all basically out in the open and as long as you explore each level thoroughly you'll find them. Just keep moving upwards. After the last post is yours, you'll be instructed to head to the control booth on the top level. This won't take long, as the top level is right above the last data post. When you reach the control booth you'll leave the area and trigger a cutscene.

After the cutscene you'll be in a VS hangar. You need to protect some VS's to use in escaping the station. Of course, the enemy sends in their own motley of VS's to try and muck things up. Just destroy any enemy forces that attack you. Eventually a massive, super heavy VS will drop in. Destroy it with heavy weapons and the chapter will end.
